Although you may find other products to do the same, QuickBooks makes it easy to learn and use.

Pros

Pull reports from bank, create subaccounts, easy reports, reminders for check orders and easy to use

Cons

I don't have anything negative to say. There is only one thing that bothers me but all the softwares do it and that is it creates a new chart of account when pulling info from bank for items that are labeled differently than what you entered. A quick fix is pulling info from your bank first then enter vendor or customer info in the account that was created automatically by QuickBooks.

Excellent accouting solution for small to mid-size businesses.

Pros

Easy to use and provides sufficient detail to make sound business decisions. Intuit provides a list of certified accounting firms.

Cons

Depending on complexity of business, can become time consuming to enter data manually. Good news is either add ones or a CPA firm can be used to increase the usefulness of the information you get out of QuickBooks and allow you to focus on your business.

N/A

QuickBooks Enterprise at first glance seemed like a good fit for my 5-location business. The feature set is rich, is a widely accepted accounting package and came with a nice support package. The fundamental features of the software are quite impressive and met the core needs of my business with range from retail sales to large projects. To handle the multiple locations, there is a "class" (location) construct that allows you to use a single chart of accounts and use class to designate where things apply. For standard income/expense accounts this works well and I can track sales and expenses easily. Where the implementation fall very short is with asset/liability accounts. For example, if you have 100 widgets in class A and 0 in class B (store A and store B) and you transfer 50 widgets to class B, the count of widgets is done correctly, but the inventory value of the transferred widgets still remains in the first class. It's made a mess of my inventory values and we've had to resort to processing manual GL entries anytime we transfer items from store to store. The same holds true with banking - the class structure is only partially implemented. There are work-arounds, but they're slow and cumbersome.

Reporting is another soft spot. There are plenty of pre-made reports that are decent and you can build custom reports. The issue is that custom reports are very unstable and more often than not, you'll find that reports lock up (or frozen as you'll read everywhere). This makes them pretty much worthless unless you enjoy creating a new custom report every time you want to use one.

Customer support is very energetic, but it's mainly people who have never used accounting software outside a PowerPoint driven training scenario. The usual answer is to either use Google or look on the Intuit community forums. Fairly disappointing. We've managed to figure most things out, but it's taken far longer than if we had access to people with real-world experience. There are a couple of great YouTube users (Hector) who were very helpful with their videos.

Pros

Cons

The class implementation is only partially implemented and causes great pain when using this to run multiple locations
The performance is marginal
Required a lot of extra plug-ins to accomplish things
Custom reports are reasonably flexible, but are very, very unstable and aren't very usable.
Customer support is lackluster with the common answer being, "have you looked on Google?"
Credit card processing through Intuit is not competitively priced

Pros

I really cannot understand how you could be using pen and paper to keep track of a businesses finances. Unless your operation is incredibly similar you should be using a software. There is no better one than Quickbooks.

Cons

I worked at a VC. We used it keep track of all the portfolio companies and their finances. It got a little confusing and we did search around.

Pros

Once you figure out how to use the program, there are so many features available to create any report you can imagine!

Cons

It takes a lot of trial and error to work through some of the more detailed features. Also, it would be helpful if the budgeting tool allowed for a yearly budget, rather than having to enter in a month by month budget amount.

Small issues aside, QuickBooks is still the Gold Standard of cloud-based financial management, and there is no comparison to the ease of use, interactivity, connectivity, and synergy in this software. You won't be sorry you went with QuickBooks (especially QB online).

Pros

Easy to use. Compatible with tons of other applications. Flexible. Smart. Streamlined. There is literally nothing you can't do using QuickBooks online.

Cons

While QB offers great value, it's also a very broad solution with many features, bells, and whistles that you'll never use. Nonetheless, you're paying for them. Of course, you don't appear to be paying for features unless you select them; but overall the cost ratio is high. From the % fee charged for Credit Card processing, to the regular monthly usage fees, to the payroll charges; none of the charges are catastrophically high, but when you put it all together, you can easily end up paying too much.

I really like the ease of using QuickBooks, and I feel it is a quality product. It is dependable, and that is needed working with money!

Pros

After initial learning period, it is easy to use. It has prompts so you do not forget to save something. I am not a person who has done books before I opened my business, and with some help from my accountant, I have been going strong with it for 8 years. It has a feature that helps you to find ways to do things when you've got QB open, so you can just follow the steps.It has been dependable.

Cons

I have an older version and it has few little glitches, but nothing that is not easily overcome.

The product has been good and delivers on its claims. Annual renewal has been very challenging as we are a non-profit charitable organization with no credit card. Considering we have been using the product for 15 years, it is disappointing that we need to go through a frustrating process of getting an invoice from Intuit so that we can pay for our renewal by cheque.

Pros

We have been using QuickBooks for about 15 years and it has grown with our organization with enhanced features being added regularly. It is straightforward for users unfamiliar with bookkeeping programs but also allows more experienced users to take advantage of the full functionality of the program.

Cons

It is difficult to learn all the features through the help function/tutorials. Our Office Manager needed to take a weeklong course to learn how to use certain components of the program. Better tutorials (especially considering the price point) would make the software more economical.

I recommend getting the higher tier so that you can do your yearly taxes for free. Your info then exports over to Turbo Tax to easily complete/

Pros

It allows me to take care of all my accounting needs on a monthly basis, without hiring an accountant. The receipt scanner and milage tracker have been game changers. The integration with my bank accounts is also awesome.

Cons

I can't think of a single thing I would change about QuickBooks. Great product!

Once everything is setup, and you have familiarized yourself with the different functions, you can track Credit cards, expenses, mileage, easy to do sales taxes. All in all it's a nice package thought there a bit of a learning curve.

Pros

For Business it has just about anything you need for tracking all of your expenses.

Cons

Not always easy to navigate, but once you get used to it, you're fine. Setting up the Company is the hardest part. If you have an accountant, they usually can help set your company.

Pros

Quickbooks has integrations with several programs which greatly increases its usefulness. It is very easy to upload receipts via your phone to keep track of ongoing expenses all year round. You no longer have to hold onto every receipt for tax season.

Cons

While the UI has greatly improved from where it used to be, it would be nice if they focused a bit on creating a better user experience!
